Martha Manning, co-owner of the Wildrose, was badly injured in a freak accident at a local gas station. Chop Suey hosted a benefit last night. It was frickin' packed and tons of fun. Some were there to see bands Leslie and the LY's, Connie and the Precious Moments, and Team Gina—but ALL were there for Martha. It kinda restored some of my faith in humanity. Also, if you unable to attend, but wanted to, donations can still be made at the Wild Rose, attn: Shelley Brothers.

New Earache Records signing Oceano recently had several photographs deleted from their MySpace page for being "too violent." You can view five of those controversial pics here. (You can view one of those scandalous shots after the cut.)

The holocaustic-metal Chicago quintet—self-described as “the angriest band on the planet,” and only a fool would argue with them—are not scheduled to play Seattle in the foreseeable future.

The Winning Block Party Photo

Yesterday's poll is now closed and the great shot of Jaguar Love won, getting 38% of the votes! Watermelon4linz will get a pair of weekend passes to this year's Bumbershoot (I hope you'll be taking pictures there too).

I know I sound like a soccer mom when I say this, but all the shots were really, really great. And thanks again to everyone who shared their photos in the Stranger Flickr Pool--I think every second of Block Party got caught on film/memory card.

This weekend, I put out the call for Block Party photos in the Stranger's Flickr Pool. Boy did you guys come through. There are hundreds (hundreds!) of great Block Party shots. After spending hours wading in the pool, I picked 10 favorites that I believe really captured the energy and sights of this year's Block Party. Now I leave it up to the readers to choose a their favorite, and ultimately decide who wins a pair of weekend passes to Bumbershoot.

Look at the photos posted after the jump, and then vote for your favorite in the poll. The poll will close at noon Tuesday.

Boy, does that make me feel old. But to complete the whole story of Nevermind's now-grown cover child--jaded teen, fresh outta military school, rejects his peers--maybe Spencer "Baby Peen" Elden should date this girl?
